Griffin Polley is a high-upside JMU righty who’s still ironing out command
In the 2026 season, James Madison RHP Griffin Polley flashed swing-and-miss stuff but battled inconsistency, going 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA over 14.0 innings, 10 strikeouts, and 15 walks. He’s a 6-foot-2, 195-pound junior who has already shown he can handle meaningful relief work, including a 3.2-inning win in 2025, so the raw ingredients are there. The separator is whether his stuff can play cleaner against better lineups; if your team values upside and bullpen flexibility, he’s intriguing, but command is the swing skill.
